Summer Camps There are summer athletic, art, music/Science and dance camps. Please refer to the email sent titled Summer Camps for details and for how to sign up. Many sign ups have ended, but feel free to email the appropriate coach if interested. In order to comply with HB 4545, we will also be have academic camps June 6-23 (Monday-Thursday) for those students, 3rd-5th grade, who do not meet standard on the STAAR test. We should receive scores this week and will be in contact with the parents of students who need to attend the academic summer camp.
I cannot believe this is the last weekly email for the 2021-22 school year. It has been a pleasure serving your students this year. We are all looking forward to the 2022-23 school year in our new facility at 8300 West Freeway. The playground is installed as well as the turf and the classrooms are ready to go. The fence is almost complete and will be soon. We will have a grand opening in August so everyone can tour the facility so watch for that email. This summer I will also send out an email for students in 2nd-5th grade to choose dance or PE. Thank you for entrusting us with your students, it has been a pleasure!
